    Hi @GurudasSatardekar,

    Here you will find more information.

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/hybrid/how-to-connect-sync-feature-scheduler

    If you need to manually run a sync cycle, then from PowerShell run Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta.

    To initiate a full sync cycle, run Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial from a PowerShell prompt.

    Hi @GurudasSatardekar

    Thank you for asking this question on the **Microsoft Q&A Platform. **

    The synchronization, usually, happens every 30 minutes.

    You can force the synchronization with the following Powershell commands on the server where Azure AD Connect is installed: 

    Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Delta

    This will only synchronize current changes.

    Run the following command to force a complete sync but note that the length of sync time would be increased. 

    Start-ADSyncSyncCycle -PolicyType Initial

    Hope this helps,
    Carlos Solís Salazar
